Memory Bottleneck Theory

The Memory Bottleneck Theory suggests that the brain's capacity to hold and process information is limited by the speed and size of its memory systems. When trying to handle multiple tasks or large amounts of data simultaneously, these memory systems become overwhelmed, slowing down overall performance. Essentially, they act like a narrow passage that restricts how quickly and efficiently information can flow, causing delays or errors. This theory helps explain why focusing on too many things at once can hinder our ability to think clearly or make decisions quickly.
